There might not be a kit. You might have to buy all the parts seperatly.

T3 Garett. Or a T3/T4 hybrid.

The T3/T4 would be the way to go. The ball bearings make it more reliable and boost smoother. The repair side is very easy, with more support than virtually any other turbo around.... Plus, it's just bad ass. The question is: Can your motor handle it?

Isnt the nsx engine and the vigor engine alomost the same thing? I think a turbo that's meant for an nsx could fit on your car.

P.s, ever hit top speed in your car???

Why do you HAVE to buy the rest as a kit? All you need are the basic components(turbo, BOV, IC, Wastegate, intake/exhaust manifold) and from there you could have a shop bend all of the piping you'll need and a different(probably) shop install everything for you, if you can't or don't want to install it yourself.

I agree. You will probably come out cheaper having the tubes done for you. Also, by using a local shop for your tubing, you're giving back to your local community and to shops that would close without your business. I know, there's not a shop that does work within 3 hours from me. I have to drive to Atlanta or FL to get my car dyno'd.
